True. That's pretty much anywhere on the internet where people get to post their true feelings anonymously. Though this place is moderated and at times it seems as though a certain agenda is being perpetuated.

I've really noticed it over the past several months; but there seems to have been an escalation recently in the rhetoric.

Race baiting is race baiting it doesn't matter what the color of the person doing it is. GLP is getting a bad reputation from it, be in denial all you want. Don't believe me do a goodle search with GLP and racism

No just disappointed. I used to think Certain people were spiritually evolved and had risen above these base instincts, judging by other threads I've seen them post. I guess I'm not always a good judge of character.

There are at least 700 people on here at any given time, on average.... not all of them are racist.

Then again, some are prejudiced against blacks, some against whites, some against Jews, some against gays, some against Christians, etc etc etc.....

A "forum" isn't racist.

and then some are just becoming increasingly sick of being shit on and disrespected when they are expected to be totally politically correct on all racial issues and totally sympathetic to minorities when in reality the minorities (though some won't admit it) have the same opportunities as everyone else.

it's the mental block of those minorities that keeps them in their situation, EXPECTING to be taken care of, and gives them the "it's not enough, i need more" complex.

the ones who have broken out of that stranglehold are the ones who become successful and lead normal lives.

it's no different than when you go to the trailer park and see the whites there.

What would I have to be afraid of?

It depends man. Some people who are spiritually evolved fall back into weak states of mind or body... Then racism starts to begin to edge its way into your consciousness.

It sure as hell happened to me in the past, until I developed some self-awareness and realized my racist thoughts are a byproduct of the state of mind/body...

When you understand all racism (The hatred kind) is because of people blaming others for their misery or lack of happiness etc etc... You understand it's just a tool of the weak.

I think one of the most powerful things any American can do, is TRAVEL to another country and live with another culture.

I'm sorry to say this, but many Americans cut themselves off from the world... and the Main Stream Media EXPLOITS this weakness... They play on the fact that you haven't lived with other cultures and have first hand experience...

I notice, lots of people in the USA have plenty of opinions on Iran/Israel/Europe/China etc... And when you ask them, if they have ever been to those countries/continents... They'll stare blankly at you...

Where do these opinions come from? They're all learned behavior.

You can erase all your preconceived beliefs...

At the end of the day... it is CULTURE and not pigmentation that is the issue.

Culture is defined as learned behavior passed down through our species... The color of a persons skin has nothing to do with most situations - it's Culture.
